Avoid the Yandere Goddess

A few hours passed.

The date with Lise was awkward, unlike usual. Up until now, we had been comfortable with each other, but today it felt like we were a couple who had just started dating.

‘Well, what can I do?’

Something happened this morning, and thinking about it made my face flush. At the same time…

‘I’m feeling so awkward right now.’

Just as I was about to let the awkwardness sink in, Lise spoke.

“Young master, we’ve arrived.”

And just like that, the date with her came to an end. I turned my head for a moment, and as expected, Lise looked slightly disappointed. Her expression showed that she didn’t want it to end like this.

“Young master.”

At that moment, in front of the inn, she turned her body away from me.

Then—

Hug!

She suddenly embraced me tightly. I didn’t shake her off. I just gently patted her on the top of her head.

“Young master… no, Kaine, I’ll stay like this for a while.”

“Mm…”

She was the first to call my name. It felt strange, but it wasn’t unpleasant. I hugged her for a while.

“Young master, I think it’s about time to go inside.”

“Ah, yeah.”

Without realizing it, I was still holding her tightly. I nodded and slowly let go of my arms.

Then—

“Hm?!”

Just as I was feeling reluctant, she lightly kissed me on the lips. Startled by the sudden kiss, she quickly pulled back and entered the building.

‘…I still can’t get used to this.’

Thinking that, I followed her inside.

.

.

.

Then it was the turn for Yong-yong.

However, Yong-yong had not come out of the egg yet.

‘Was this some kind of joke?’

Of course, she never gave a specific time for when it would come out, so it’s not that what she said was wrong.

‘It should be about time for it to hatch…’

It was later than I expected, which made me worry a little.

While Kaine was getting anxious inside, Lise spoke.

“Young master, I think Yong-yong is about to come out.”

Before I could even think it, Lise had already delivered the news. I nodded and walked toward the room. As soon as I entered the room—

Crack!

The small round egg cracked.

Buzz!

The egg started vibrating like a phone with a notification. A moment later—

Crack!

The egg completely shattered, and a tiny dragon with a little tail and delicate wings appeared in my view.

‘…Seems like it can’t transform into an adult yet.’

It had plump baby cheeks. Bright, innocent eyes. Even though the cheeks hid part of its face, its features were quite clear. It had a little mole by its mouth. Its appearance now resembled a young child in kindergarten.

“Ugh…”

At that moment, Yong-yong waddled toward me. It was still unable to speak properly, so it repeatedly opened and closed its mouth.

“…It’s cute.”

Lise, who was watching from the side, said with sparkling eyes. Kaine nodded as if agreeing.

‘Well, it’s definitely cute.’

I thought even the younger version of Kage was cute, but it had a bit of a seductive air to it. But this Yong-yong was simply adorable.

“Lise, do we have any clothes for kids?”

“Maybe. My junior probably has some.”

“Alright. In that case, could you call Kage for me?”

“Yes, understood.”

Lise nodded and left the room. She kept her eyes on Yong-yong, but unfortunately, Yong-yong didn’t pay any attention to her.

Screech.

Once Lise left the room completely.

“…”

“…”

A brief awkward silence passed between us. Well, it was bound to happen.

‘It can’t talk yet, right?’

It clearly wanted to say something, but all it could do was…

“Ugh…”

It kept opening and closing its mouth. I looked down at it and asked.

“Do you know today is the day we’re supposed to hang out together?”

Nod, nod.

Instead of responding, it moved its head up and down. I asked another question.

“Is there anything you want to do?”

“Aah…”

With a serious face, Yong-yong fell into deep thought. Soon, the words of that troublesome little brat crossed my mind.

-You can’t eat this, right? This is my owner’s favorite food. Hehehe.

Just thinking about it made me feel irritated. In fact, I was a little annoyed with Yong-yong right now. It was nice that it learned polymorphing, but unlike my expectations, it couldn’t transform into an adult yet, and it couldn’t even talk properly.

“Ugh…”

Yong-yong was flapping its arms to explain the food I liked, but—

“Ugh…”

Unfortunately, it wasn’t getting through. I looked at it, scratched my chin, and then—

“Wait a second, Yong-yong.”

I took out a quill and a blank sheet of paper from the spatial ring.

“Write it down and explain it to me.”

Nod, nod.

Yong-yong grabbed the quill with its little hand.

Then—

“Hmm?”

It tried to draw the food it was thinking about. I stared at the drawing with wide eyes. It was no surprise, though.

‘What kind of child…’

The child drew it so well that it was hard to believe it came from a kid.

‘Is it because she’s a dragon?’

It was clear that she was fundamentally different from humans from the very start.

Not long after, the drawing was completed. As Kaine looked at the finished drawing, he realized what she had been trying to explain.

“Ramen?”

• Nod, nod, nod.
•
Determinedly, Yong-yong nodded frantically, as if confirming that was the correct answer.

Kaine then asked,
“Do you want to eat ramen?”

• Nod, nod.
“Hmm…”
•
Kaine, who always carried ramen with him just in case, never thought it would be eaten right now.

“Then, do you want to eat it here?”

• Shake, shake.
•
Yong-yong shook her head, seemingly not wanting to eat inside the accommodation.

“Then where do you want to eat it?”
“Uhh…”

Yong-yong seemed to get an idea, as she suddenly raised her head, as if struck by a good thought.

“Ugh!”

She pointed to the forest outside the window.

‘Hmm. She must want to eat in the forest.’

It made sense. Her original species was a dragon, and naturally, she would prefer nature over this cramped building.

“Alright, then if Kage brings the clothes, we’ll go right away.”
“Ugh.”

Yong-yong’s eyes sparkled as she nodded enthusiastically.

At that moment,

• Clunk!
•
The door suddenly slammed open. Both Kaine and Yong-yong turned their heads.

Next moment,
“Ahahaha! So tiny!”

Kage burst into the room, laughing loudly. Yong-yong, upon hearing Kage’s mocking laughter,

• Shudder, shudder.
•
Her face flushed red as she trembled.

It seemed that she had indeed transformed using Polymorph to try and become an adult.

“B…”

Yong-yong waddled over to Kage, and then extended her hand, seemingly asking for clothes.

“Hmmm, I’m a bit worried,” Kage muttered.
“…?”

Yong-yong tilted her head in confusion.

Kage, from his spatial ring, took out some clothes meant for children and then said,
“I wonder if this will fit you, especially around the chest area?”

She teased, pushing her chest out and mocking her in a high-pitched voice.
Next moment,

• Thwack!
•
Yong-yong, who had been holding back, finally snapped and kicked Kage in the shin with her small foot.

“Ahh!”

Kage screamed in pain.

Kaine let out a deep sigh as he watched the situation unfold, looking at Kage as if he found the whole thing pitiful.

“Sigh. You should have been more careful.”

.

.

.

Once Yong-yong was ready, she and Kaine arrived in the forest. Kaine quickly unpacked a bowl, ramen, and other items from his spatial ring and began preparing the meal.

Before long, the ramen was ready.

• Drip!
•
The savory aroma of the ramen made Yong-yong drool.
“Myaa…”

Eager to eat, Yong-yong’s eyes shone brightly as she stretched both of her hands forward.

Kaine, serving the ramen into the bowl, handed it to her along with a fork.

• Shake, shake.
•
Yong-yong shook her head, clearly not wanting the fork.

“Do you want to eat with chopsticks instead?”

• Nod, nod.
•
True to her dragon nature, she didn’t want to use the fork and wanted to use chopsticks instead.

Kaine figured that, since dragons learn quickly, she might be able to use chopsticks right away.

“Here you go.”

Kaine handed her the chopsticks, and without hesitation, Yong-yong accepted them.

Then,

• Tap!
•
As she tried to pick up the ramen with the chopsticks, it didn’t go as planned.

• Tap, tap, tap, tap.
•
She only tapped the bowl but couldn’t grab any noodles.

“Ugh…”

Yong-yong pouted her lips and glared at the ramen with frustrated eyes.

Watching this, Kaine offered her the fork again.

“Just eat it with this,” he said.

• Shake, shake.
•
Yong-yong refused again, shaking her head as if she truly didn’t want to use the fork. Finally, Kaine sighed.

“Well, you have to try eating somehow.”

He picked up some ramen with the chopsticks and held it in front of her face. At the same time,
“Ah…”

Yong-yong opened her mouth, seemingly okay with him feeding her even though she didn’t want the fork. She slurped up the noodles from the chopsticks.

• Munch, munch.
•
With the noodles in her cheeks, Yong-yong chewed, and then suddenly,

• Whoosh!
•
Her face turned red as she quickly swallowed the noodles, flailing her arms around.

It seemed the ramen was a bit too spicy for her.

“Yong-yong, here’s some water.”

• Shake, shake, shake.
•
When Kaine offered her water, Yong-yong shook her head in refusal. Then, glaring at the ramen and the bowl with fierce eyes,
“Ugh!”

As if determined, she pushed the bowl back toward Kaine.

That day, Yong-yong managed to adapt to using chopsticks and eating ramen in just one day.

Meanwhile, at the secret base of the Cult, Andrew was deep in thought.

‘What should I do?’

There was so much to deal with right now. From Jade, who seemed to be acting suspiciously, to Kaine, who was increasing humanity’s strength.

Not to mention,
‘The Duke. This guy seems to be up to something too.’

Having somewhat aligned with the Duke, Andrew could sense his intentions, but he thought,
‘As long as I don’t push things too far, I should be okay.’

At the moment, the Duke couldn’t really do anything either.

First, he had to deal with Jade and Kaine, who were more urgent problems.

‘Is there a way I can eliminate these two without losing anything…’

At that moment, a simple idea came to Andrew’s mind.

“Ah!”

He realized,
‘Why didn’t I think of this?’

There was a very simple way to put out the urgent fire without suffering any losses. The solution was clear:

‘I can just order Jade to assassinate Kaine directly.’

Of course, just this wouldn’t guarantee both of them would die. However,
‘At least I wouldn’t lose anything.’

If Jade died, he would be a traitor, so nothing would be lost. Even if Jade succeeded in the assassination, Kaine’s death would be a relief.

‘I hope both of them self-destruct… but…’

That seemed a bit too greedy, and even if Jade survived, he could still kill him once he returned.

“Ahhahahaha!!”

With that thought, Andrew felt great all day, as he had come up with a method he hadn’t considered before. Yet, he still believed Jade was a traitor.
